ITunes match being weird on iPad

Hey,
Ok, here is my problem.
I have a huge music collection and I tried to add it to iTunes match from my MacBook air. During the iTunes match process it crashed a few times and generally didn't go well, the music collection ended up in a bad iCloud state with lots of the cloud symbols with the exclamation mark in the middle. I then switched iTunes match on on my iPad and the music collection was in a similar state: lots of greyed out songs, some played, some didn't, etc etc
So I then deleted the whole music collection on my Mac taking care to tick the "also delete from iCloud box" so I could start again and give iTunes match another go from scratch. I then added some of the collection bit by bit and it went a lot better on iTunes match. The music collection now seems good with no errors and everything seems to play well. I have only added about 5% of it, but it's looking good so far.
Now here is my problem: I then switched on iTunes match on my iPad and it just sees what was there before: loads of songs that I haven't added yet to iCloud, greyed out songs, errors, etc etc. How can I make my iPad see iTunes match in the state it is now on my Mac, the state it actually is in iCloud?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

It actually says 'this device is already associated with an apple id and i cannot use it for match for 37days. What the **** is going on? All my apple id's are the same one. Tis is outrageous for something i've paid for.

    Her iPhone will need to be set up to iTunes Match using your Apple ID to be able to share music via iTunes Match. Otherwise you'll have to download the music to your computer and then copy those tracks into her iTunes library, assuming hers is separate.

  • I download songs from my dropbox to my macbook pro and then upload them to my updated iTunes.  iTunes plays them in entirety, but when i update my iTunes match, my iPhone and iPad skip many of the songs and albums.  Why?  I have tried everything.

    If you have manually manage set, you do not sync.

  • HT5085 iTunes Match not working on iPad

    I have an iPad and an iPhone both in iCloud and iMatch. The iTunes Match button on my iPad will not stay on and therefore library on iPad is not current. Can someone tell me how to ensure iTunes Match works with my iPad as well.

    Hey tweb1216,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you may be having some network connectivity issues, which would explain why your Wi-Fi enabled devices are encountering the problems. It may be good to run through the following network troubleshooting articles:

  • Doesn't iTunes Match give me more iPad space?

    Can't download TV shows from iTunes -- and I'm subscribing to iTunes Match.  I have 14.9 of 15 in iCloud storage, why can't I purchase a TV show from the iTunes store?  I get an error message saying I do not have enough local memory.  How does local memory apply?  I thought that by subscribing to iTune Match, my 1000 songs are now stored in the iCloud.  If so, why is "local storage" an issue?  I thought I pushed all my songs and my four other TV episodes to the iCloud using Match.  Shouldn't that free up space on my iPad?  Just want to buy one episode of Arrow and get "insufficient local space"!  Help.
    PS  What have I gained by paying the $25 fee?  (I won't go into the fact that now some of my songs loaded into iTunes Librarty from CDs are unplayable.)

    Also, if I've run my songs throught the Match process, isn't too late to fix those unplayable tracks?  Or, if I disable ITM, can I rerun the Match process, and then enable the ITM?
    iTunes Match does not scan and match on an iOS device. What most likely happened is that you enabled the service on the iOS device before the initial scan in iTunes was finished. This has resulted in tracks that are "unplayable." Just follow the directions in my original post and the trouble should clear up.

    WIth iTunes Match enable on an iOS device traditional syncing via USB is disabled. Follow the directions in my original reply, while iTM is disabled, to delete all the music on the iOS device.

  • Help; Using iTunes match to transfer from iPad to new PC

    Regarding iTunes match. My PC crashed and the only other place I have my library is on my iPad (shame on me). I bought iTunes match last night to upload my library from my iPad so I could get it onto my new PC, but when I went to turn Match on in my iPad, it said it will delete over my existing library and replace it with songs in the cloud.  I DO NOT WANT THIS to happen! The iPad is the place I want to transfer FROM.  Of course my purchases are there in the cloud, but Match is for sharing/transferring all music, including burned cd collections, which is the majority of what I have. I don't dare turn on Match unless I know that my music library (and burned cd collection) on the iPad will FIRST be uploaded to the cloud and THEN written over.  It says this nowhere on Apple pages.  Please please help.

    Hi,
    iiTunes match scans your library on your computer not your ipad. So you will need to transfer your music from your ipad to your computer. If your music has not been added to your computers library, you are likely to lose music on your ipad.
    You will need an app to do the transfer. This doc may help Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

  • ITunes match not working on ipad

    iTunes match is not working on y iPad, one day all the music was there now I can't get it to work. It shows the iCloud symbol and after 30 seconds or so it disappears and a massage saying now music appears. What's going on???

    Can't help -- on my iPhone, i've turned the toggle switch on in Setting>Music but it says I have not subscribed to iTunes Match and to go to iTunes on my computer and subscribe even though I have already. So, can't get iCloud to update music on my iPhone wirelessly.

  • Itunes match - being told to 'add this computer' - why?

    PC#1 was used to upload library to the cloud (MANY HOURS).  I then successfully synced PC #2 (Many more hours) thus Match worked as expected.  Now have added tracks to PC #1 that I want to upload to the cloud.  So I try to turn on iTunes Match (still using PC #1) and am I'm being told I have to ‘add this computer’.  However, if I go to store.view my account I can see that PC #1 is already an iCloud managed device.  Using iTunes version 10.5.1.42
    What gives?

    It seems to be pretty common that iTunes will put up an "add this computer" even though the computer has already been associated with the iTunes match account.  When it's happened to me, I've just clicked through and signed in.

  • Update itunes match info on the ipad. How?

    This is on an iPad (iOS 7.1.2).  I use iTunes Match (25,000 song limit account) where all my contents are MP3's from my CD's, either matched, or uploaded.  My library is large (24900+ tracks).
    The contents of my iTunes Match library are not displaying properly.  If I choose "Albums", the listing on the iPad is not sorted alphabetically.  This happens when "Group by Album Artist" is on or off.
    The display and management of the music contents is correct on my other iOS device (iPhone 5) and in iTunes.
    I have turned iTunes Match off and back on on the iPad; deleted all music contents ion the iPad Settings General, Usage; updated iTunes Match in iTunes Store menu.  The display of the music contents is still fragmented and not correct on the iPad.
    Any idea how to fix this?
    Aloke

    No, you are not tecnically "streaming" music--althought it appears like that.  Basically your iTunes Match makes your library available online.  Whichever music you wish to listen to is downloaded to your device for playback.  My understanding of Streaming is playback of media file not permanently stored on your local drive or device (i.e. Netflix).  So you can't have total access to 25GB of music on a 16GB device, without first deleting some songs on your device and then downloading another set of songs.  (Deleting songs on your device does not delete it from iCloud).

  • HT4914 Why can I not update my iTunes Match subscription from my iPad? Must I access from a PC?

    I have been getting emails syaing my iTunes Match subscription will expire soon and if I do not renew I will not be able to access my music on iCloud. Also, it says I cannot update my account from an iOS device. But I no longer have iTunes installed on a PC - I only access from an iPad or iPhone. What can I do?

    I always get an error message "Cannot update iOS software" or something to that effect everytime I try. I've tried plugging my iPad to my laptop computer and then my computer directly to internet connection (we have a router that allows WiFi access, so I thought I'd try to bypass the router instead), but this did not work.  I've tried restoring my iPad via connected to my computer through iTunes, that worked for a short time and was able to update the apps I wanted, but soon after one of the apps stopped working properly, and then the apps I wanted to get from the App Store just wouldn't install or load...Instead they would be having "Waiting..." for the longest time until I give up and delete them. I've tried restarting my iPad, no luck either.  I've also gone through the Reset process of "Erase All Content and Settings" i.e., Restore, and like mentioned above, it worked for a little while then it went back to square one, as I mentioned a sentence or two previously.
    I've no idea what is going on, why it's not working, or anything.  I just wonder if it's got anything to do with a slow internet connection (we don't have high-speed internet access), or something else I haven't found that may be just under my nose.
    I would love some help and input into my situation, all and any ways which allow me to keep my current iPad (which is the New Generation one), not having to trash it and replace it with a new one.
    Have you tried to restore as a new device? Maybe a glitch exists on the restored backup, try this:

  • ITunes Match not updating on iPad or iPhone

    I have iTunes Match enabled on 3 computers and two iOS devices both on 5.0.1.  When I make changes to the library on any of the 3 computers, the other two computers will reflect those changes (whether it is adding new songs or changing artwork or ratings etc).  However, the iPhone and iPad will not reflect those changes.  I have restored from new and from backup and still the same problem.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply
    I do all my updating on my main computer that has always had my library.  All changes are reflected on the other two computers.  I even tested making changes from those two computers and all computers reflect the changes.  It seems to be just the iPhone now as since I first posted this, for some odd reason, the iPad is now seeing the changes.  I have closed out the iTunes app from the multitask menu.  I have also rebooted, powered off, toggled itunes Match off and on again (which is odd because when i turn it off, it does not remove the itunes Match songs which I thought it would have and only kept the locally stored songs).  I think I will have to try a clean restore again and maybe that will solve the problem.  I am all out of things to do to rectify this problem.

  • To use itunes match on my new ipad do I have first connect ist to the PC

    I can't get my music from the cloud downloaded on my new IPAD mini. Is it necessary first to activate and conect it with a computer and iTunes match?

    If you buy it on the iPad in the iTunes app then you will need to be connected to wifi to buy it and for it to download on the iPad - it will download and be stored in the Videos app. Once it has finished downloading you don't then need to be connected to wifi to watch it.

    You can download any items you purchased from the iTunes Store directly to your iPad if they are not syncing properly.  Here's how:

  • TS1503 itunes match not working on ipad

    I have itunes MAtch and my ipad does not work effectively with it.  many albums or songs wont play at all, others will only play one song at a time.  I have a large music library, 34 GB, so i am sure this has something to do with it.  Without Match the ipad would be to capacity at 32 GB, I would like to start Match fresh but am unsure how to reset it without restoring the entire ipad.
